    I like this fight! Like both fighters too. As always in a case like this, just hope the rightful winner get the nod.

    If he cannot take a unproven at Heavy cruiser then he better hang them up......but he struggled with Punch bag whyte which I do not rate and kind of submitted against the Bodybuilder so if Parker looses against that Hype job it would not surprise me.

    Right.....but they don't have a path to the WBO, so curious why you think it will end up in their hands. Apparently you are just interested in empty statements and sarcastic remarks though.

    Kevin Barry will have the perfect gameplan for this fight - "hit him really hard Joe".

    For those saying Joshua is ducking Usyk, he isn't. It's just the smart move to drop the WBO and fight Pulev, his Ibf mandatory.

    Joshua said on the Bunce and Costello podcast that he wants to fight three times next year. So he will drop the WBO and hopefully Usyk fights Parker or Chisora for it in March. All three are Eddie Hearn fighters. Joshua said he would fight Pulev in March and the winner of both fights will unify in the summer.

    These fights are easy to make as, besides the AJ v Pulev fight, they are all in house Matchroom fights.

    And the boxing ability. Parker is one of the most versatile heavyweights right now.

    He’s got a point though. Even if Fury loses to Wilder, Arum can just kindly ask WBO and Fury becomes the mandatory, with 1 or 2 fights against the Tom Schwartz’s of the world.

    As a Parker fan I respectfully disagree on Parkers versatility. He has yet to show me any improvement. I haven't seen his so called inside fighting that few have claimed that the ref robbed Joe of, during his fight with AJ. Everything is always robotically and predictably the same with Joe. He lacks fluidity and IMO versatility which I wish he had.

    Yep, looks like Whyte is also getting screwed again with the WBC, even if they do re-instate his status, Mauricio Suleiman wants Andy Ruiz to be at the top of the rankings

    I definitely 100% agree on the inside fighting.
    I probably used the word a bit wrong there.
